NYE Series {Guest Post} Carly of a simple affair

Today marks the beginning of a NYE guest post series that I'm very excited about. I have invited some really great gals to share with us their NYE traditions and resolutions. Carly will kick this series off... woop woop! She's pretty new to the blogosphere, but ever since I clicked on the link to her blog, a simple affair, I've been obsessed with all her DIY projects, pretty outfit collages and good taste! When it was time to think of some fun ladies to invite over for this post series it was easy to think of this fashion savvy gal. Now, without further ado, here's Carly...

Hello all you wonderful Fashion Truffles readers! It's Carly from {a simple affair}. I was so happy when Viv invited me over to talk about New Year's traditions and resolutions because well, one, I read FT daily and two, I really needed to get started on my resolutions for 2012.

Let's Talk Traditions

Ever since I've been a student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (Go Badgers!), I've spent my night ringing in the New Year in Madison. We would all return to our respective hometowns for the holidays as soon as finals were over and get back together for one special night in Madison. One year, however, I was really sick and could not get off of the couch all day. Let me tell if you, if you're ever sick on New Year's Eve, it's a great time to watch get hooked on on a brand new TV show because it seems like there are marathons on every channel. It's when I fell in love with Michael Weston from Burn Notice, and he's had my heart ever since. Well, I mean besides Boyfriend B. Which leads me to my next point.

While Madison has been our go-to place for New Year's Eve, a lot of our mutual friends have graduated so I'm looking forward to starting a new tradition. I'll get back to you on what that is, but I honestly had the best night when he came over and dealt with me being a poor sick baby. We watched a movie and sipped on some chocolate liqueur. The best part: waking up feeling refreshed and not hungover the next morning (not to speak for everyone, but I'm thinking we've all been there at some point?). So, yeah, we sound like an old married couple, but I can't help but remember it as one of my favorite New Years. I truly think as long as you're with the right people, whether it be family, a group of girlfriends, or that special someone, you can make the night great.

On to the Harder Stuff: Resolutions

My go-to resolution is typically floss more often. I feel like no matter how often I floss, every time I go to the dentist office I'm told to floss more. Does this happen to you too? Well, I will continue to floss, but this does not need to be my New Year's resolution for 2012. Instead of coming up with some long list of things that would never happen, I chose three resolutions that are absolutely doable and things I have been thinking of for quite some time:

What are your resolutions for 2012? Any books you would recommend for me? Can any of you teach me how to sew?

Vilanova: Messi fit for Atletico meetingAgen Bola indo11.com reported, Barcelona manager Tito Vilanova has insisted Lionel Messi will be fit for their potential title-winning clash against Atletico Madrid.Messi came on in the second half against Real Betis last weekend, netting a double to inspire Barca to a 4-2 win and, although the Argentine’s lack of fitness has been well documented in recent weeks, Vilanova is sure he will be able to play the full game at the Vicente Calderon Stadium on Sunday.

The Catalan club will secure their 22nd La Liga crown with victory in Madrid and despite a strong second half to the campaign from title rivals Real Madrid and a humbling loss to Bayern Munich in the UEFA, Vilanova believes his team will receive great credit for wrapping up what is set to be their only silverware of the season. as reported by Indo Eleven.

He added: “I do believe the league is given value, but we had such a good first half of the season that it gave the sensation that it was a league that had been won for a long time.Source : www.indo11.com
